Ninja explains \u201chow far he\u2019s come\u201d in competitive Fortnite after FNCS Fortnite Battle Royale star Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins has reflected on his rapid growth in competitive Fortnite after a top-10 placing in the Fortnite Champion Series squads finals on December 8, saying that he\u2019s \u201cback up to par\u201d with the best of them. After consistent performances throughout the five-week season, Ninja and his squad of FaZe Clan\u2019s Nate Hill, Trevor \u2018Funk\u2019 Siegler, and TSM\u2019s \u2018Reverse2k\u2019 climbed to the top of the squad ladder to get a top-10 finish in the FNCS finals. While they weren\u2019t able to take the title out for themselves, Ninja said he was proud of his efforts as he looks to climb back up to the top of competitive Fortnite. The streaming superstar has been working on getting back into the esports side of the battle royale, and results like these demonstrate that he\u2019s on the right track. \u201cWe played out of our minds, we played super well,\u201d he said, describing his team\u2019s performance in the finals. \u201cReverse disconnected in the first game, but we were able to come back, clutch up, and get two 16-point games back-to-back after that.

Ninja himself has dedicated more time to improving and making sure his skills are up there with the best of them. \u201cI\u2019m happy with how I played and how far I\u2019ve come in terms of my individual talent,\u201d he said. \u201cI definitely fell off a lot when I really wasn\u2019t focusing on competing. \u201cI wasn\u2019t practicing my building, my editing, literally anything. Now I definitely feel like I\u2019m back up to par with every single top player and it feels good.\u201d The Fortnite Champion Series was the streamer\u2019s return to competitive play, having not competed in an official capacity since June\u2019s World Cup qualifiers. After failing to make the finals of the prestigious event in 2019, Ninja\u2019s sights are firmly set on sitting on stage at the World Cup in 2020 in either solos, duos, or squads. He has stated that he \u201cwill be continuing to compete\u201d in Solo Cash Cups and the next season of FNCS, which is expected to start in the coming weeks, and continuing to improve as a player until he reaches the top.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
